Flytec makes great varios for Hang Gliding. They offer an audio only
vario called a Sonic that has a nice tone and reasonable volume.
Louder than the Malletec and only a few bucks more.

There are a few different HG/PG varios on the market now for $300 or
less that include displays and useful functions like averagers.

The classifieds on ozreport.com often have used HG/PG varios for
sale.

Do you use Malletec mini vario?
If so, what are the pro's and con's?

How about the "Ascent" vario sold on wings and wheels?

Thanks

No experience w. the Ascent.

"What others have said," about the Malletec, based on several years' use
(and no battery changes, yet). Good value for the bux. A good excuse for
wearing a bucket hat for hanging reasons (not that any of us don't
aloft, of course...).
